Want to get your foot on the property ladder but are struggling to raise funds for a deposit? KentOnline is here to help.
We've compiled a list of the 10 cheapest houses in Kent available under Help to Buy.
The scheme, which helps people buy their first new-build house, sees the government lend up to 20% of the cost of the property.
This means house-hunters only need a 5% deposit and 75% mortgage to purchase the home.
More than 7,000 homes have been bought in Kent under Help to Buy since it was introduced six years ago.
The scheme remains hugely popular, and these houses below are likely to be snapped up soon...
1. Lucas Close, Queenborough, Sheppey, £210,000
